Get Her To Talk To You

Eight Openers That Can Start A Conversation With Any Woman

We all have the friend who manages to pull women into conversations seamlessly. It's a pickup without an actual pickup line. Sure, every guy has his go-to openers, his Rolodex of bar stories, his conversation starters. But this is a different art -- and has a much different result. This dude has women move -- willingly -- to his table of dudes, to engage in lighthearted debate. How do you get her to talk to you?

Easy once you get the hang of it: He asks her something so intriguing she can't ignore it. Something like, "Would you rather date a guy who wears boxers or briefs?" "Would you rather be tall and fat, or short and well built?" "Would you rather grow old with someone you never loved (but had a stable relationship with) or have a deep love with someone who dies young?" It all works. And no matter what she says, shake your head and look puzzled, like she gave the wrong answer. It'll spark discussion and annoy her just enough to keep her in the conversation.
